This giveaway is now closed.
I‘ve got a special treat for you today. In light of the holiday season, we’ve got a giveaway from my favorite jewelry maker, Lisa Leonard!
I’m a longtime fan of Lisa’s, and I’ve written about her several times before. Any time I wear any of her necklaces, I get comments. I love that her work is both feminine and natural, without being overly girly.
And I love some of her new pieces, like this paper lantern necklace. I think this is so unique! That’s the best thing about Lisa Leonard jewelry — every piece is a one-of-a-kind, since she hammers each piece of silver by hand. Most of the selections are customizable as well.
So this week, three Simple Mom readers will win a $50 gift certificate to Lisa Leonard Designs! Just in time for the holidays.
Here’s how to enter:
1. Check out her store, then come back here and leave a comment. Tell me — what would you order if you won the gift certificate, and who would it be for?
2. To get a second entry, tweet about this giveaway — use the “retweet” button at the bottom of the post.
3. To get a third entry, post about this giveaway on your own blog, and make sure you link to this exact post (not the home page, SimpleMom.net), so that it will leave a trackback.
This giveaway is open to U.S. and Canadian addresses. It will end this Saturday, November 21 at 11:59 p.m. EST. I hope you win!
Not only beautiful but so moving! I love all of it and would love a personalized necklace but I have to say if I’d like to purchase the Forever Necklace because it captures my heart about my family and faith so beautifully. Thank you for sharing this with me!
The captured heart necklace for me because I’ve wanted one for so long! sylviarj at yahoo dot com
So many wonderful designs; it’s hard to choose! I think I would choose the family tree necklace.
I would love the open circle necklace and it would be for ME!
I can only drop so many hints!!
Thanks!!!
retweet!

Not sure why my blog entry isn’t leaving a trackback here….

And I forgot to add in my previous message that I’d be buying that tree of life necklace for me
.-= Tasha´s last blog ..Holiday Giveaway =-.
I’ve spent over an hour browsing and I’ve come to the conclusion that I could never decide on just one design! I love the beauty and simplicity of every piece. .. and it would probably be for myself because I’ve wanted one for so long… it would just be a matter of choosing!*B
.-= SummersCamp´s last blog ..kinda blurry =-.
I would get the tiny squares necklace for ME!!
I love her jewelry but don’t have the money to splurge for myself.
.-= Jaimie´s last blog ..Good Things Come to Those Who Wait. =-.
Oh how exciting! A Lisa Leonard giveaway – I’ll keep my fingers crossed. On a wish list for myself is her tiny squares necklace with my kiddos names, or perhaps the family tree necklace – it’s hard to decide! Love her stuff!
Blogged about it!

.-= Jaimie´s last blog ..Good Things Come to Those Who Wait. =-.
I’d choose the family tree necklace for myself…
Hard to decide. Maybe the teenie tiny initial necklace.
Just posted on my blog: http://pocketwise.blogspot.com/2009/11/win-free-necklace.html
I love Lisa’s designs! The first time I saw them I fell in love! If I won I would buy eith er the “birdie” or the “heart” necklace, and I would keep it!:o)
.-= Rayia´s last blog ..Some time away… =-.
The sweetheart tree necklace – love it!
I’m torn between the tiny squares and the “mama” necklaces. . .but would love the chance to have to choose! Thanks for this great giveaway!
So hard to choose just one! I would get Baby’s First Spoon for my good friend who just had a baby girl. It’s something that she can use every day and be reminded of our friendship every time she uses it. Then I’d splurge for, um, me: the Family Crest Necklace and the Be Still Necklace. My son is getting old enough that I can start wearing necklaces again without worrying about them being broken.
I would get the family tree necklace for my sister in law. That is my favorite!
i would get the “be still” necklace and i would hold onto it for my sweet daughter who is almost 3 months old. our journey to her was one where we were called to “be still and wait” for a while – that’s not an easy thing to do!!
i would want to pass it to her, though, as a reminder that we are called to be still and know that HE is God – even when things don’t make sense or when things don’t happen in “our” time. a sweet necklace like that would be a good reminder to me and to her as she grows up!
.-= sonja´s last blog ..Thankful 18 =-.
I have had my eye on the necklace Lisa Leonard makes called “Be Still.” I work in a place called “the nest” so I love the bird motif and there is a simple song we start the year with called “Be still and know that I am God.” This necklace is so lovely and it would keep my work close to my heart, keeping my intentions in the right place.
.-= Emily´s last blog ..Vermont =-.
Definitely the sea star necklace!
.-= Heather, Queen of Shake Shake´s last blog ..World-Stopping News – an Eggo Apocalypse =-.
Love all of her things! I would probably choose the sweet daisy bracelet.
Oh I love the sweet & simple birdie necklace.
.-= Erica´s last blog ..55 Flash Fiction Friday: Greetings to you Exuberance =-.
I really like the family tree one!
I like the family crest necklace just for me.
.-= abbey´s last blog ..A Day of Milestones =-.
I would order her family tree necklace. It is beautiful.
I love the open circle braclet. What a great giveaway.
I love the mama necklace – the wording is just perfect!
I would just love one of the teeny tiny initials necklaces. I have seen other ones around, but I love the petite style, the ball chain, and the font used!
If I were lucky enough to win I’d get the “Laundry Line” charm necklace. I can’t get over how cute it is!
.-= Misti´s last blog ..Happy Holidays =-.
How could I choose how to spend a gift certificate??? My mom deserves the fly free necklace, as she is finally finding her wings at age 59 (Go, Mom!) My husband would love the cuff bracelet (and it would look hot on him!). I would love the ring with my kids’ names on it. But the limit is 20 characters, and with 4 kids, I could only fit them all on if the spaces don’t count as characters! Regardless, I could find something for everyone I love. Her stuff is so beautiful and original!
I love all the jewelry, but I would get the family tree necklace for my mom.
I love them all but would probably buy the itty bitty hearts necklace for myself! After baby #2 my husband gave me a beautiful family necklace with the 4 of us. Then along came “surprise” baby # 3 and I can no longer wear the other necklace! I definitely need to get something symbolic for our family of 5!
love the tiny initials.
I have to admit that I would take the tiny squares necklace for myself. Love it!
Love them!!! soooo cute!
I’d get one for one of my bestest friends with a simple flower on it – there’s a story behind that, it has a special significance for her.
I love all her pieces… but I think I would get the family crest necklace… it is such a beautiful, unique piece!
I’d use it for the “Little Feet”. We lost our daughter at 37 weeks (whom we nicknamed Peanut) in March of 2009, and I’ve looked for a necklace that would celebrate her life and the gift from God that she was to me and the many others who prayed for her.
.-= Hope´s last blog ..Menu for the Week =-.
I would order the Key to my Heart or Family Crest necklace. Thanks for the chance to win!!
I LOVE the open circle necklace. *fingers crossed!*
I would use the prize to buy the ring… and I’d put my baby daughter’s name on it. she died in 2004, and I miss her every day.
I love her Family Crest necklace. I would order it for myself. I’ve never experienced any of her pieces before, but they seem very organic and meaningful without the fuss. They’re very appropriate additions to a “Simple Mom” lifestyle!
.-= Jennifer´s last blog ..Party Hosting =-.
My very favorite necklace of hers is the sweetheart tree necklace. I just love it!!
.-= bashtree´s last blog ..stah-ll =-.
Ummm…what do I love? Everything! My top choices would be the personalized baby spoon, any of the earings, the be still necklace, the sweet and simple birdie necklace, the family tree necklace. $50 would cover all that, right?
Thanks for the chance to win this gift certicicate!
These are beautiful! It’d be hard to choose, but I think I’d get the “jumble of charms” necklace. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love her work. If I was to win something…I’d want to get the Open Circle Necklace, for my sister. Just because she means everything to me.
I love so much of her jewelry! I’d probably get the captured heart one and give it to my Mother In Law and put all her boys’ names on it. I know that’s something she would cherish.
I think the laundry line necklace is really sweet!
Lovely!
I would buy the “fly free necklace” if I was lucky enough to win!
What great looking jewelry! Hard to choose! But, if I had to choose I would get the Bronze Freshwater Pearl Earrings. They would be for my Daughter. Who is a one of a kind daughter and mommy! Those earrings represent her perfectly. Fresh and unique in a very lovely way:).
I LOVE the family tree necklace!
.-= Cat´s last blog ..Extra Income! Minication! =-.
It’s a tie between the Captured Heart and the Wish necklaces – think I’d have to get one of them as a present for myself. Love them both!
I love the mama necklace! That would be the one I would order for sure.
I have had my eye on the open circle necklace…Love it!!
I’ve had my eye on the Dewdrops personalized necklace for a long time… so a gift certificate would cover some of the cost of a Merry-Christmas-to-Mama gift from my little ones.
I love the paper lantern necklace for myself and for my sister–so the gift certificate would be 50/50!
Wow. If I won the gift certificate I’d purchase the ‘be still necklace’ for myself. I LOVE it! Fun.
.-= Anne´s last blog ..New Blog Address =-.
So many great choices! I would get the dewdrops necklace. I love that they can be customized.
Oh , to choose just one is such a job! I really love the little initials one, although the sweet little bird one is a close second. Thanks for this chance!
I would order the jumble of charms necklace (for myself) with the names of my two boys.
the “be still” necklace or the “single tag” necklace … either would be perfect, perfect, perfect for my SIL.
.-= Gail´s last blog ..And then things got a tad bit crazy. =-.
Oh this is so hard! I’ll choose the thin sterling cuff bracelet. For myself!
I love her jewelry as well. I’m not sure what I would pick – I like so many! If I won, I would get something for myself, because Nov. 21 is my birthday.
I would definitely choose the “Hope Necklace” because it is…well, it’s my motto (see my blog) ever since I had a relapse of leukemia & survived the bone marrow transplant and liver & kidney failure that resulted from it. I would give it as a gift to my mother. She would cry. Angels would sing. All would be well with the world
.-= Krista English´s last blog ..What is Critical Illness Polyneuropathy? =-.
I tweeted about your giveaway btw!
.-= Krista English´s last blog ..What is Critical Illness Polyneuropathy? =-.
I would order a keychain or the sterling ring.
I couldn’t imagine jewelry as simple, beautiful, and primitive (the good kind) as Lisa Leonard’s! I would choose so many of her pieces, but I really like the laundry line necklace (to honor my precious family) and the sweetheart tree necklace, both would be selfishly worn by me! I also really like the sisters necklace and baby’s first spoon as gifts for loved ones. So sweet!
.-= Laura´s last blog .. =-.
Definitely the paper lantern necklace – very cool. And I’d have to be greedy and keep it
I would order the block charm necklace for myself- w. my hubby’s special initials “cj” + my special initials “kk”. . .that’s what we call each other sometimes. i miss him. he’s deployed in Iraq.
I’ve got most of my Christmas shopping and creating done or underway…so I would probably choose the itty bitty hearts necklace for myself. I would put the initials of my children on the hearts and remember the baby that we lost early in my first pregnancy with the pearl.
The friendship necklace for me
I would love and adore the hugs and kisses necklace… so simple and sweet and a symbol of the love I hold in my heart for all my little guys (and my one big guy too)
I would choose the family tree necklace or would it be the laundry tags? I can’t decide they are both so cute!
I love Lisa’s open circle necklace- the simplicity is the beauty. I would put my 3 children’s names on it! Thanks.
I love the forever necklace- it would be a great gift for my best friend who is getting married soon! I have another friend who is going through a divorce who I would love to give the jumble of charms necklace. They are all so amazing it’s hard to choose!
I love so many of her designs, but I think the teeny tiny initials is still my favorite. It would probably be for me!
I would love to treat myself to her lovely itty bitty hearts necklace customized with the initials of my 5 daughters!
.-= Olivia´s last blog ..Seventh Generation =-.
If I won, it would be a toss up between the “be still” necklace and the thin cuff bracelet. Clearly, she does beautiful work. Thanks for introducing me to her work. The “be still” is a good reminder of what I hope for– time to stop and be still.
.-= LeAnn Gunter Johns´s last blog ..Still Remembering =-.
ooo, i’d get the sea star necklace for my sister. she’s a total beach girl with great understated style, so it would be perfect for her!
I love the teeny tiny initials necklace, and I would order it all for myself!! I’ve been coveting it for awhile!
itty bitty hearts. so cute. love it all though…
So many cute options! I would probably have to say I’d probably get the teeny tiny initials one . . . but not positive!
I’d also have to keep it for myself, cause they are so adorable and I really want one! 
I love the captured heart necklace!!
I would get the ‘Be Still’ necklace for either my daughter or myself. One of the most simple, but most powerful statement from Bible “Be Still and know that I am God” is one that we both need to be reminded of on a regular basis.
I would get the Open Circle bracelet. . . for myself. I love Lisa’s designs; they’re simple and beautiful.
.-= Beth @ Smart Family Tips´s last blog ..Ecousable Giveaway Winner =-.
My kids tell me all the time that I am obsessed with nature – especially all the birds and wildlife we watch everyday from our family room window. If I could choose any item it would be the Sweet and Simple Birdie necklace.
I already have her dewdrops necklace on my holiday wishlist. Her work is fabulous!
.-= emily´s last blog ..Fall Fun =-.
I love her necklaces and would get the open circle necklace with my boy’s names on it. I never buy jewelry for myself, so this would be something special for me.
I would have a very hard time choosing! I like the family tree necklace, and any of the necklaces that allow you to display all your children’s names in such a beautiful way.
.-= Lucie @ Unconventional Origins´s last blog ..Anissa =-.
I love the “mama necklace”. Sooo sweet. My little one is turning 1 next week, and I am OVERLY emotional about it!
.-= Heather´s last blog ..Her favorite thing… =-.
I would get the petite family crest for my mom since she is the rock of our entire family. LOVE Lisa’s jewelry!
I’d probably get the family tree necklace for my mamma
I love the be still necklace!
I would get one sisters necklace for my sister and I would have to buy one for myself… (one for me one for you)… smile… I couldn’t give away something of hers without having something for me… selfish? Yes, I’m afraid so… I have been looking at her things for awhile and might have to do it this holiday season! (one for me and one for you… never one for me… so am I really being selfish????)….mmmm… if you look at it in my twisted way… maybeeeeee not toooooo selfish…….
p.s. Jeannine, if you are reading this, I love you and never meant to hurt you…. I do dumb things every day and sometimes I just “do” … I wish I was perfect, but I’m not… I’m far from perfect ! Love, Sissy
I would LOVE to buy one her pieces! I would get the jumble of charms as I just had my first baby and would love to get one with each of our initials for my mom who is the most amazing woman existing today.
.-= Valerie´s last blog ..Silly Mama =-.
I would get the open circle or the tiny initials. Actually, any of
her pieces would be a wonderful present to myself!
I would order the “be still” one with the bird and the wild flowers. Ohmygoodness. I love that one. It speaks to my soul. I fly around sometimes worrying too much and going too much ~ what a beautiful reminder that necklace would be. I love how it’s designed, too!
Please put my name in the hat. I don’t have twitter or a blog. Too busy to create those! LOL!
i really enjoy lisa’s jewelry since it’s both meaningful and inspiring.
it’s hard to choose but i might like her “only by grace” with the small pearl or the “be still” with the bird. i would enjoy giving one to my teenage daughter.
thank you, lori
I love her Starry Hearts Necklace!
